Review: Blue Goose Cantina

Postby Common Sense Al » Sun Aug 10, 2008 1:05 pm

My wife and I had lunch at Blue Goose today. I had a beef chimichanga ($10.95) and my wife had the brisket tacos ($11.95). Pricing seems a little on the higher side yet the food quality did not seem to be better than average.

Unfortunately we were both disappointed, my wife more than me. We both thought the brisket tacos were bland. I gave her most of my guacamole and sour cream tray to make it better (and it helped). After reading about how good this place we suppose to be, we both agreed that Fernando's and Chipotle are better. So this place isn't bad, but I would only consider it average overall.

I did think my chimichanga of moderate portion size was pretty good though, but not good enough for 4 smileys. I also thought the salsa was very good (though Cristina's is still my favorite when done well).

Salsa (4 out of 5):

Beef Chimichanga (3.75 out of 5):

Brisket Tacos (2 out of 5):

Rice (3.5 out of 5):
:) :) :) 1/2

Beans (2.5 out of 5):
:( :( 1/2

Service (3 out of 5):

Indoor environment (3 out of 5):
:) :) :)

Value (2.5 out of 5) (overall food quality/price):
:( :( 1/2

I took the photos with my compact camera so the indoor ones are not that great because it was low lighting.

Did you order a kids meal? What do the kids meals come with and how much are they? Not to brag, okay maybe a little, my husband says he prefers my enchiladas.

No, our son was not with us. He was with his Aunt Mary.

Wow, I'm surprised. I have been to Blue Goose many times and had the brisket tacos and thought they were amazing. Not bland at all. My favorite is the Blue Goose tamales though. I haven't had anything bad there yet. If you like margaritas, Thursday is the day to go. Their $3.00.

If you have a massive appetite, go for the Tacos al Carbon. Yikes, that's a ton of food. But excellent. Their charro beans are top flight, as well.

It is no different from ON THE BORDER or a DON PABLOS.

The food was okay but expensive. House margaritas are 6.95?!
